10th Annual Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival
presented by REGIONS

SEPTEMBER 26-28, 2008 

Since 1999, Sidewalk has brought legions of acclaimed films and filmmakers to Birmingham, Alabama from across the country and around the world. The attending filmmakers have been thrilled to discover fresh, enthusiastic crowds eager to devour new independent cinema -- and their films have been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the Birmingham audience.

In addition to fantastic films, the atmosphere at Sidewalk is electric with creativity and collaboration as film-lovers and filmmakers mix and mingle between screenings, participate in free SideTalk panel discussions, grab a bite at the Sidewalk Café, or hear live music at the Sidewalk Music Lounge.

In 2007, Sidewalk launched the Life & Liberty sidebar, a program of Civil and Human Rights related films, in partnership with the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.

One of Chris Gore’s BEST VACATION FILM FESTIVALS in the Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide.
